Bed Bug Picture / Bedbug Picture

This “common bedbug" Cimex lectularius, uses its mouth parts
adapted to piercing skin in order to obtain its blood meal.

The bedbug gets its name from the fact that it often makes its home
in and around a bed, in the mattress, box spring, and even the bed frame
itself. It feeds at night while its host sleeps, and can obtain its blood
meal in as little as 3 minutes.
